State cancels health contracts with anti-abortion Heidi Group

An anti-abortion group that continuously failed to provide reproductive health services to the number of patients it told the state it could is getting its contracts terminated — and is facing an investigation by Texas’ health agency over questionable billing.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission officials said in an email Friday that “it has become clear that the Heidi Group is unable to come into compliance” and that the organization would no longer be part of the state’s Family Planning Program or the Healthy Texas Women program as of Dec. 11.
